Trying makes it worse

Trying makes it worse

Hi,

I'm EternalFlower and I've been feeling completely overwhelmed, sad, and pessimistic.

I've tried and been a responsible patient and person, reaching out to various services when I started feeling scarily anxious and suicidal, 2 years back..

My Dr is new, a young guy who regularly admits he's inexperienced, and aside from some good jokes, he actually does very little

I notice how easy it is to blame myself that I don't feel better, a total shame spiral, but I wander if my treatments just are bad....

I wanted to chat and hear anyone and hope I can use this space to help not feel so alone.

Thanks xxx EternalFlower

Re: Trying makes it worse

ohh, I wasnt that well and spent half the time sleeping in motel re spontaneity @EternalFlower lol was good overall tho. maybe if had allowed myself more time, like not going day after i decided then had to be back here for medical thing, so there goes any flexibility.

Next time. will go there ready to have few silly days in clubs there @Dimity wasnt up to it this time lol. not been walking then walked what would have been 3 days walking if was at my lowest level, but i wasnt even doing that. swimming in pool there was on list too, took togs then realised so unfit , no point lol. did not have 1 drink on trip lol. whole idea was to go and yuk it up at clubs had seen advertised on regional tv lol. did see private pub (not club) had $7 'schooners' jeez same size here like $12 lol and 2 for 1 schnitzels for $15 lol i would have got doggy bag, ok done myself lol @plasmo
